Sword Beach was the most easterly of all the D-Day landing beaches, and the one most likely to face the wrath of German counter-attacks. As the British infantry landed their flank was supported by a daring airborne operation. Would the British get ashore before German reinforcements moved against them?


In the fourth of our special series on the D-Day landings, Mat is joined by historian Gary Sheffield to tell the story of the landing at Sword Beach.


Hosts: Mat McLachlan and Gary Sheffield

Producer: Jess Stebnicki
